"Concerns Rise Over Elon Musk's Alleged Drug Use Impacting Tesla and SpaceX Leadership"

A Wall Street Journal report suggests that Tesla board members were concerned Elon Musk might have been under the influence of drugs when he tweeted about taking Tesla private in 2018. The tweet led to an SEC investigation, resulting in a $40 million settlement and Musk stepping down as Tesla chairman. Musk's past interviews and behavior have raised questions about his drug use, which could have implications for his companies, including SpaceX, which is subject to the Drug-Free Workplace Act due to government contracts. Musk's attorney has not commented on the report.
